AppCDS in OpenJDK?

[Jiangli Zhou]

Hi Deepak,

In JDK 8u40, AppCDS is an experimental (i.e can not be used in production) feature and is not available in OpenJDK. Following is related info from release notes for 8u40 <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u40-relnotes-2389089.html>:

Application Class Data Sharing (AppCDS):
Application Class Data Sharing <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/java.html#app_class_data_sharing> (AppCDS) extends CDS (see Class Data Sharing <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/vm/class-data-sharing.html>) to enable you to place classes from the standard extensions directories and the application class path in the shared archive. This is an experimental feature and not licensed for commercial use. See the -XX:+UseAppCDS option in the java launcher tool page.


Regards,

Jiangli
